Yes under anesthesia your muscles are relaxed
If you receive a lot of intravenous fluids and your procedure is prolonged it can happen.
Urine is formed during general anesthesia, but the bladder will not empty unless the bladder overfills. If you are having a long surgery, the surgeon will drain your bladder during the surgery.

You could lose sphincter control and pee. Many procedures we order fully cath. Also for intake and output.
